Bind Option Not Available

[mwithum]

Hi All,

We are looking at Vault as a replacement for Tortise SVN and so far we are really excited by it. We have been able to add many of our projects/solutions to the repository and play around with the different options and seem to be leaning toward purchasing (right now we are on a trial). However, I am having trouble binding certain solutions to the repository once I have added them.

Example:
I right click a folder in the repository and select "Add Files/Folders" and select the folder that contains my solution file and project folders. I then open the solution and the bind button on the toolbar is disabled / grayed out. What am I doing wrong? How do I bind these solutions to vault?

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Some additional info:
It seems to be working well for any VS2008 projects but having issue with some VS2005 solutions.

Rather than adding items using the Vault GUI client, you should use Visual Studio to do the add. Open a solution in Visual Studio, then use the function Add to Vault or Add to Source Control. Give that a try and let me know how that works for you.

Thanks for the prompt reply Beth!

I do not have that option available either. Since I had already added the project to the Vault repository, I first removed it. I then opened the solution and right clicked the solution in VS2005 but found no option to add to source control.

Attached is a screen shot of what I am seeing.

Go to your VS Tools - Options - Source Control. What do you have set there?

It was set to none. I have set it to Vault Enhanced Client and I am looking good.

Thanks for your prompt responses and help Beth!
